Cardinal Health Reinforced Gelling Fiber Wound Dressings are sterile, non-woven calcium/sodium alginate dressings designed to effectively manage moderate to heavily exuding partial to full-thickness wounds. As wound fluid is absorbed, the high M alginate in its cohesive fiber construction transforms into a gel, which plays a crucial role in maintaining a moist environment vital for optimal wound healing and the promotion of granulation tissue formation. These highly absorbent gelling fibers efficiently wick and retain exudate away from the wound bed. The cohesive nature of the fibers also ensures easy, one-piece, atraumatic removal, minimizing discomfort for the patient. Beyond wound management, these versatile dressings can even be used to control minor bleeding in superficial wounds.
